Polka dots and dalmatian print...

Apologies for the darkness of these photos - Mark inadvertently switched to a manual setting on the camera and they all came out looking like they were shot in a gloomy room and even my awful amazing brightening skills couldn't save them. I really love this dress, it was an eBay bargain and I have barely taken it off after its first outing to the #SWBXmas! It was originally a dress in size 18 from H! by Henry Holland (a brand I love) but had been adjusted to a roomy 16, so it is perfect for hiding that post-Xmas bulge ;)

I love the bows on the shoulder of this and the white necklace is fab, it always makes things feel more summery, even if it is grey outside...

I love red dresses and this is made even better with the addition of polka dots It also has a swooshy skirt - what more could you ask for in a dress?!

When I was trying to find some shoes to match, nothing looked quite right (I'm thinking I need to invest in some white shoes for spring/summer!) but I remembered these dalmatian print shoes which managed to tie in the black and white perfectly! Pattern mixing can be pretty difficult to get right but hopefully this outfit manages to pull it off...

We decided to try a slightly different location for the photos in this post, I think I prefer this to the car park location!

How do you mix your prints? Have you picked up any eBay bargains recently?

Ahhh, I LOVE H! by Henry Holland! I bought a dress from the sales there in Debenhams with big, fat, orange goldfish all over it. Love. The cut really suits you and I reckon the clashing prints work really well xx

I think you pulled off pattern mixing perfectly! love everything about this outfit. that dress... what an absolute brilliant find! i love h stuff too, but often find its a bit short on me.. maybe i should size up too, worth a shot! anyway, this red dress is absolutely perfect on you, the colour sooo suits you! xxx

Look at you, frolicking in nature ;) you pull of pattern mixing completely effortlessly. And phwoar dally print!! I saw a coat in H&M like that a few weeks ago and LOVED it, bit too Cruella though, a dash of it like you do is probably enough *runs away to find some puppies* xxx
